The interstate commerce law can not
be held responsible for deranging or in
juring business by an increase of trans
portation rates from certain points.
There is no provision in the law that
directly or indirectly requires an increase
of rates. The law prohibits greater
rate for short haul than for a longer
one when the long haul includes the
short one. But there is nothing in the
law to prevent common carriers from
transporting freight 200 miles at the rate
it charges for 100 miles. The law is in.

unjust discrimination between patrons
who require the service of carriers.

A Racine correspondent of the Senti.
mel says there is a lack CT harmony in
the management OF the Racine schools
that it is not because the teachers are
inefficient, but for the reason there has
been backwardness in adopting i'm
provements and doing away with I'M
necessary expenses. The Office of city
superintendent is quite an item of cost
in Racine, and it is proposed to dis
pense with that office entirely and con-
fer its duties on the highest Principal
of the schools.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND AND
JOHN G. CALHOUN.

President Cleveland appears to have
had sudden fit of admiration for the
memory of John G. Calhoun. one of the
most powerful advocates for the disso-
luton of the union of States which
has ever appeared on the theatre of
political action in the South. Calhoun
was one of the original nullifiers, and
sought to induce the state of South
Carolina topay no regard to the laws
of Congress, but, on the principle of
state sovereignty, to establish gov
eminent of their own. Calhoun, more
than any other man, sought to educate

President Bascom. of the Wisconsin
State University, gives his opinion of
the various kinds of reading. He has
contributed much reading himself for
the public the past few years. We
only refer to what he says of novels.
" A certain amount of novel reading
may be profitable, and with increasing
years returns with more relish to Wal

guised philosophy, but vivacious, ade-
quate impressions of mind, thoroughly
sincere, and wholesome in it's SYM

Pile.driving on the lake shore pro
lection has been prosecuted quite yig-
orously lately. The contractors have
procured new and heavier hammer,
and, with better perfected machinery,
are enabled to advance more rapidly.
The Importance OF this protection be-
gan to be talked of thirty years ago.
The work was long delayed because it
involved heavy expense. Whether
the cost Ct the work falls on the prop
perty which should be liable, there are
differences of opinion, but of the abso-
lutte necessity of a lake shore protection
there does not seem room for much
difference of opinion. Property that
has been regarded unstable will now
have market value.

CHICAGO'S IMPROVED PROS


Chicago has not for years, if ever be-
fore, been more favorably circum-
stanced as city to rise in the respect
OF the whole country than now. The
great numbers who are being turned
from their evils ways by the preaching
of Moody, and the great army of teeto.
talers who under the appeals of Muir
ply numbered overe17 900 last week,
will have powerful influence for
truth and righteousness. Add to this
the new city government with Mayor
Roche al its head, being the first ad-
mlnistration for many years, if ever
before, which has had the moral cour-
age to stand up for public decency and
refuse federation to the mary forms of
vice. ! The outcome of these agencies
must be for the lettering of the moral
condition of the people. There is still
another potent power promised to give
efficiency to the anticipated reforms !;
the clergymen of Chicago appear to
believe they now have city govern
ment which they can conscientiously
support. The Congregational pastors
of the city, at their regular weekly
meeting, resolved to tender to Mayor
Roche their cordial support in his eff
forts 10 enforce the laws, to repress
vice and crime, protect the homes and
the society of the city. Other religious
denominations it is said will in like
manner tender to Mayor Roche their
support, without party considerations,
in his efforts to promote the best in
terests of the city.

recover damages, provided the law is
found in their favor; they only wish
to make it a test case.

ANTI.PoYERTY SOCIETY.

An Anti-Poverty society has been
organized in New York city, which
held an immense meeting. being its
first, last Sunday evening. Father Nc
Glynn. the Catholic priest who has
been lately deposed from his priestly
office, and has such large following,
is the President of the society. Henry
George, who is widely known for his
peculiar views on the rights of proper
ty, and who has obtained sort of a
national reputation. is Vice President.
One of the principles of the society is,
that poverty is social crime-a crime
that can be no longer tolerated, and the
remedy for It's removal must be ap-
piled. Precisely what the methods
are for bringing about such millennium
for the poor is not yet made plain; that
the promise of such happy transition
from poverty to plenty will be taking
with the masses of the poor there can
be no doubt. Such deluding and i'm
practicable. doctrines are calculated to
unsettle and create discomfort in the
minds of the ignorant.
"Dr. McGlynn, in closing said that
he always intended to remain a Catho.
lie, to preach the Catholic doctrine,
and try to bring back religion to the
world. Religion will never be right,
he declared, until we shall see a
Democratic Pope walking down Broad
way with stove-pipe hat on his head
and carrying an umbrella under his
arm. In my opinion that man will be
the greatest of popes.'"

AS will be seen from the table there
has been no tax levied for running ex-
penses of the State since 1883.
Of the items classified as Educational,
those that go directly for the support of
schools are the University tax, the free
high school tax and the fifth normal
school tax. The one mill tax, together
with interest on certificates of indebted
ness and interest due school fund in
come, are all apportioned back to the
counties according to the number OF
children of school age in the county.
Out of a total levy of $13 ,28O.7O in 1888,
these three items last mentioned make
up $9,521. SO. The other amounts are
for care of the insane Of the county and
the keeping of refractory boys in the
Industrial School, which are collected
by the state and paid over to the said
institutions.

The question which seems to be puz-
cling many public journals is whether
Cleveland will be candidate for re.
election OF not. There are conflicting
opinions, although many claim to be
in possession of information which
goes far in determining the question.
If this journal were asked for an opin-
ion, it would be that no one knows what
Mr.. Cleveland will do, nor does Mr..
Cleveland himself know up to this time
what will be his decision. He is too
wise to be in haste when there is no
necessity for haste; much time is still
to intervene before the nominating
convention. Public sentiment in this
country is never long stationary.
There is time for great party revolu-
ti0ns before the time for the national
conventions to occur, and Mr.. Cleve-
land will be polite enough to take
observation OF the latest popular wave
for or against his candidacy before
putting his political chances into the
hands of his party. UnQuestionably
he has lost many friends since he came
into power; many disappointed office
expectants abandoned him in disgust
and became his sworn enemy. 1t is
probable, also, he has won new friends
by the bestowment of official favors
The national Democratic party is not
in the best condition for success; it has
serious divisions in its ranks; this was
naturally the consequence of party in
power having spoils to divide and moi
near enough to go round. The Repub
llcan party being the party of misepr
tune, despoiled of its patronage, has
naturally been drawn nearer together
and better prepared for unity of action
